Liuzhou ({{IPAc-en|lj|uː|ˈ|dʒ|oʊ}};[2] {{zh|c={{linktext|柳|州}}}}, IPA Pronunciation:{{IPAc-cmn|l|iu|3|.|zh|ou|1}}) is a prefecture-level city in north-central Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, People's Republic of China. The prefecture's population was 3,758,700 in 2010, including 1,436,599 in the built-up area made of 4 urban districts. Its total area is {{convert|18,777|km2|abbr=on}} and {{convert|667|km2|abbr=on}} for built up area.

Geography

Liuzhou is located on the banks of the winding Liu River, approximately {{convert|255|km|abbr=on}} from Nanning, the regional capital. By road, it is about {{convert|167|km|abbr=on}} to Guilin, {{convert|167|km|abbr=on}} to Hechi, {{convert|237|km|abbr=on}} to Nanning, {{convert|373|km|abbr=on}} to Fangchenggang, {{convert|448|km|abbr=on}} to Beihai.

Swimming in the river is a tradition of the city. The river is normally green, but sometimes in summer, floods from the mountain areas upstream bring sediment which colors the water yellow. In early 2012, a cadmium spill upstream caused serious pollution worries.[3]

The river can be deep. Normally, the depth is {{convert|60|-|70|m|ft}} but can as deep as {{convert|90|m|ft}} before it floods over the wall. In 2000 a bus, with 78 passengers, fell over the side of a bridge, and into {{convert|27|m|ft}} of water.[4]

Climate

Liuzhou has a humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cfa), with mild winters and long hot summers, and very humid conditions year-round. The monthly 24-hour average temperature ranges from {{convert|10.6|°C}} in January to {{convert|29.1|°C}} in August, while extremes have ranged from {{convert|-0.3|to|39.0|°C|°F|0}}.{{Citation needed|date=May 2016}} Rain is both the heaviest and most frequent from May to August, when nearly two-thirds of the annual rainfall occurs.

History

The Liujiang men ({{zh|c=柳江人}}) are among the earliest modern humans found in East Asia. Their remains were discovered in the Tongtianyang Cave ({{lang|zh|通天岩}}) in Liujiang County, Guangxi.[5] Liujiang man is a Late Pleistocene Homo sapiens sapiens.

Liuzhou has a history of more than 2,100 years. The city was founded in 111 B.C. when it was known as Tanzhong ({{zh|labels=no |c={{linktext|潭中}} |l="Center of Deep Pool"}}).

In 742 A.D. it became known as Longcheng ({{zh|labels=no |s={{linktext|龙城}} |l="Dragon City"}}), after the Long River, before finally changing to Liuzhou ({{zh|labels=no |c={{linktext|柳州}} |l="Willow Prefecture"}}) after the Liu River in 1736.

The most famous historic figure is Liu Zongyuan (773–819), who was a poet and politician in the Tang Dynasty and who died in Liuzhou. He is commemorated by a park in the city.

Liuzhou was the site of Liuchow Airfield, used by Nationalist Chinese and American Army Air Forces in World War II.[6] (At that time the airfield was closer to the centre, where now is the zoo.) It was captured by the Japanese army on 7 November 1944 during the Battle of Guilin–Liuzhou and recaptured by Nationalist Chinese forces on 30 June 1945 prior to the Second Guangxi Campaign.[6]

Quotes

Liuzhou appears in the Chinese saying {{lang|zh|生在苏州, 活在杭州, 吃在广州, 死在柳州}}.

Born in Suzhou, live in Hangzhou, eat in Guangzhou, die in Liuzhou

because, in the past, the city was known for its coffins, made from firwood, camphor wood, and sandalwood,[8] which are said to preserve the body after death. Guangzhou's "Cantonese" cuisine is famous worldwide, and Hangzhou is known for its prosperity and the beauty of its location. Suzhou is reputed to have the most beautiful people in China, so the line is sometimes given as "Marry in Suzhou...".

Today many tourists buy miniature coffins, about {{convert|3|to|30|cm|in|abbr=on}} long, as souvenirs or good luck charms. The coffins are usually inscribed {{lang|zh|升官发财}} (shēng guān fā cái) which means 'get promotion and get rich". The second and fourth characters are homophones of {{lang|zh|棺材}} (guān cái) meaning 'coffin'.

Some miniature coffins are used as caskets to hold the ashes of ancestors.[8]

People

  • Liuzhou was the home of Li Ning (born 1963), gymnast and entrepreneur who lit the Olympic torch in Beijing in 2008.
  • Chinese gymnast, Jiang Yuyuan was also born in Liuzhou.
